If you want to read about what the 74th and 75th FS did in Afghanistan whilst flying the A-10C, pick the latest issue of Airforces Monthly. I can thoroughly recommend it. :whistle:

Fantastic shots, every last one of them. I'll echo thoughts on shot 2. Great catch with the hog in the background. Any more?
Cheers

Love the HH shot and the Hog in the background is the icing on the cake :clap: :win: Noticed that the article mentions HC-130s, that your camera-ship?

Are these and 'old' edit with the fuzzy borders? Personally it encroaches too much on the image, looks like you crop it with a composition in mind and then the border steals some of that space and gives the aircraft less room to breath. Shots are cracking though :smile:

Brilliant Neil, and you've made the front cover! :yahoo:

I'll echo the others, I'm surprised you're allowed to erect a 1000ft tripod with all those helicopters and planes flying around :lmao:
